Qalipu and the RCMP are working together to offer this unique work experience for Indigenous youth who are interested in a career in policing and/or justice. This job opportunity will give youth an insightful look at the RCMP and may help them decide if this is a career opportunity they wish to pursue.

These summer jobs are nine weeks in duration, running from June to August 2024.

Successful applicants will attend a one-week training session at the RCMP Headquarters in St. John’s, (all expenses paid) before being placed at the RCMP detachment closest to their location. This program is a great stepping stone for individuals interested in pursuing a career with the RCMP.
